The Impact of Material Management Plan on Delivering Offshore Construction Projects in Singapore

Published:10 December 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Material Management Plan is an integrated supply chain management (SCM) process that is synchronized to the project management plan (PMP) to ensure that the project materials are all available when the point of time it is needed. Material Management Plan has a vital role in managing project management, especially in the offshore construction industry. It also plays a major role because of the success of every construction project relies heavily on having material available on time at a reasonable cost. Despite the importance of the Material Management Plan for the construction of offshore projects, the contractors are still experiencing loss of productivity, project delays, and cost overrun due to the absence of proper execution of material management plan. The main aim of this research is two-fold. First, is to explore the current material management practice and its impact on delivering the offshore fixed platforms Project. Second, to identify the root cost of ineffective material management by utilizing Six Sigma and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).   In conclusion, exploring the critical process of material management plan towards project performance will benefit the offshore construction player in improving the efficiency of material management. This will help to minimize the (bad) impact on construction project performance.
